The Argentan Server - Phase Two!

[LeviTheDegu]

Grammar Police:

1)

"you" should be "You". Secondly, "kinda" is not a word.

2)

"kalt" should be "Kalt". Secondly, you missed a comma. "... was not an option,".

3)

"re big" is not a word.

4)

We still love you too.

weeeee.....ever hear of levels of formality? i would like to think dod forums arent the same level of formality as an academic essay. that being said i think these errors are rather acceptable.

How would we be Improving on the classic in this case? Innovation certainly does build off of other work. That's basically half of science, the other half is outright discovery.

Explain how we bring in the pubs to make a Kalt classic server successful. It's not as if we haven't already tried this and failed at it.

Innovation also must be an improvement, again as i feel the two changes on the classic offered would be detrimental.

Nice story though

Hey, the challenge was just "how can something classic be trend-setting?" I answered that.

For this, I know that there are a bunch of people out there who want it back and the issues it had in the past (a server that kicked us all 3 times a day...most of the Kalt regulars out trying to seed Colmar & Anzio...etc.) are gone--in a sense, a form of innovation. A lot of the new DoD players don't know what Kalt is and a lot of them, upon playing it, love it. Here's something interesting for ya--I have checked the Top Server listing multiple times today and every time Kalt shows up on a rotation map (different maps, different times of day. Kalt is the constant factor), the server gets full/near-full. I check out that server's graphs and it had an upward trend during the time Kalt was on--not just a steady, unending, full server. Interesting, no?

Spankie that's a great story. I expect we will all be dusting off our chess sets any day now.

I'm game.

He's made a lot of good points on these forums. This, friends, isn't one of them.

Come on--I think I make a pretty good point for how sometime classic can be trend-setting, right? And now...I have made a point for the potential general pub interest. Can I at least get an assessment based on the point I am trying to make?

Kinda is too a word; sorta. Youz guys aughtta know dis stuff.

Everyone please calm down! let's take this down a notch...we have to be careful not to upset the balance of nature...or this could happen

Guys, to set the record straight, dust is a cross-game map that has "set the trends" throughout the history of DoD, CSS, and somewhat with TF2.

Dust has not only been one of the most popular CSS maps to date, it was also one of the most popular DoD maps pre-source. To fast forward to the present time, the number 1 server on DoD:S is dust also.

Don't be so quick to downcast dust just because you associate it with CSS. Try to vote with an open mind for what's BEST for eGO.

i never played dust on dod presource mod even though ive been playing dod since it first came out...but i have played it on DODs and i can say that personally...i hated it...im not speaking against it because i associate it with CSS...but because the map sucketh big time...

 

[gavin gillies]

just to clarify for a few of us.. or maybe just me?? What is meant by "competitive rotation maps"?

A rotation of the maps being used in the competitive leagues.

I believe that your one of them. Congratulations.

Was this a test? It should be "I believe that you are one of them.". More informally, you're is also acceptable. Your is incorrect.

Your grasp of grammar gives me a sense of calm tranquility. I rest in the assurance that the managing editor has, in this case, chosen well. It is nice to know that I am not alone. You're annoying as well; perchance, annoying as hell.

If 'ere there was a thread deserving of hijacking, this is one. Whom shall be annoy next?

Caen

I would like to see Caen, whether it be part of a Competitive Servers Rotation or on it own with instant respawn.

We should give it a chance now that Beta 7 version seems to be stable.

This isnt a final decision is it? Because I think the other 20 people who voted for Kalt variations would vote for Kalt. Because 20 people didnt have to separate their votes.

 

[BlackBird.]

I know goomba played pretty much on Kalt, I like that map too, its nice. However I dont play much games anymore lately, I still vote for Kalt.

Gentlemen (and ladies):

Let's stop being grammar Nazis, okay? Yes, it might be funny to us, but we should try and stay on track here: Kalt.

Nobody said this was a "final decision".

Competitive rotation isn't going to happen in the forseeable future (thanks Ron for explaining it better), because I personally would move to block it as well, were it to win. It's still gained a few votes since I last posted in here; don't people read before posting?

This poll was created to try and see what kind of support there is for some of the ideas put forward in the last thread (excluding realism, because it's not even on the table right now). We'll use these results to help us come to a decision about what's best for this community.

Dust would bring us the most players.

but I voted for kalt anyways <3

Back in my day Goomba was just a Flash guy... But hell I voted Kalt back to the way it was. I need a good place to go when Flash is empty... I'm getting sick of Ava

I suppose we should find it ironic that all threads kept detouring to Kalt and now the Kalt thread keeps shooting off in random directions.
